Travis and Jillian had class together on Mondays and Wednesday so he didn't see her again until Wednesday. She hadn't left her phone number for him and he didn't know where she lived. He was both nervous and excited to see and talk to her. When he walked into their big class room, he saw her back in the corner where she and one of her friends always stayed. She was looking at a blank canvas. He stopped walking and rubbed his chin. He looked away than back at her a second before he started towards her.

" Hey." He said when he reached her.

" Hey, Travs." Jillian said with a smile.

" So, you didn't leave your number so I couldn't call you." Travis said. Jillian looked away and started going through the brushes she was going to use that day.

" No, I did. On the coffee table." She said.

" Oh, well, I didn't see it." He said. He had almost tore the loft apart, trying to find it. He had accused Derrick of hiding it to fuck with him. Derrick swore he hadn't touched it but Travis was starting to not believe him.

" Well maybe you didn't look hard enough." She teased him as she looked at him.

" Everyone, gather around!" Their teacher called out as he came into the room. Jillian looped her arm around his and they started towards the teacher.

" So maybe you should just give it to me again." He said.

" Maybe you should find it so I know you really want it." She whispered to him a second before the teacher started to speak. Jillian rested her head on his shoulder.

" Jillian!" Travis called out as he hurried out of the classroom after class. He shouldered his bag and caught up to her quickly. " You want to go and get some coffee or something?" He asked. She smiled as she looked at him.

" You don't have class right now?" She asked.

" No, do you?" He asked as they walked.

" No." Jillian said.

" So you want to go? Get coffee?" He asked. Jillian stopped walking, making him look at her. She looked conflicted and he was confused. He thought she had like him.

" Sure." She said. He smiled. " Do you have a car?" He scratched the side of his head.

" Ah, no." He said.

" Well I do so come on." Jillian said as she looped her arm with his again.

Jillian sat across from Travis at a small booth at the coffee shop. She had her hands wrapped around the cup and wasn't looking at him. He watched her but she seemed lost in her own thoughts. He was starting to doubt that she liked him. Maybe she had just used him for sex. She didn't seem like the type, he had never seen her with any guys. Finally she shook herself and smiled up at him.

" So, when are you going to be done with school?" She asked.

" Two more years. You?" Travis asked.

" The same. What do you want to do after you graduated?" Jillian asked.

They stayed at the coffee shop, talking together for a few hours. They had moved from the booth to the couch so they could sit together. They were sitting close together, their shoulders touching as they talked. Okay, maybe she does like me, he was thinking to himself. She laughed and smiled a lot while they talked. She asked him a lot of questions about himself and seemed into whatever he was talking about. They showed each other differently drawings they were working on.

" Do you just have the one brother than?" He asked as he looked through her stretch book.

" No." She said as she looked through his book. He looked at her than back at her book.

" Do you have a sister or another brother?" Travis asked.

" I had another brother but he passed away a few years ago." She said.

" Oh, wow, I'm sorry to hear that. What happen?" He asked. She shut his book and smiled at him.

" I'm going to get some more coffee. You want some?" She asked.

" Yeah, sure." He said.

After she walked away, he put his arm around the back of the couch and looked behind it to her. He sighed as he watched her go up to the counter. He turned back around and started looking through her book again. He wondered if he'd see the picture of his scarf he knew she had been drawing. He came to a picture of a beautiful woman. She looked a little like Jillian only older. He tilted his head as he looked at the picture.

" Here you go." Jillian said as she sat down beside him. She handed him a cup.

" Thanks." He said. He held up the picture. " This is your mom?" He asked. Jillian looked it the picture and he noticed her shoulders dropped.

" I forgot that was in there." She said softly. She leaned forward and set her cup down. She sighed as she took the book from him. " Yeah, that's my mom."

" You look like her." Travis said as she brought her fingers to the picture. For a few seconds he wondered if she had forgotten he was there. She closed her eyes and sighed again. Than she snapped the book shut and turned completely towards him, opening her eyes again.

" Look, I don't really like answering personal questions, okay?" She said. He looked at her, seeing how serious she looked.

" Okay." He said.

" Can we just keep this casual?" She asked.

" Yeah, okay." He said. She smiled and sighed as she looked away. She leaned forward and picked up her coffee cup. They fell into silence for a few minutes. She was sipping her coffee as she held it to her mouth. He wasn't sure what to say to her.

" So, my roommates aren't home." She said.

Travis moved above Jillian as they made out slowly in her bed. His hands were running through her hair while her hands were tugging at the ends of his. She was moaning into his kiss as her hips moved with his. She pulled away from his mouth and arched her back. He groaned and started breathing into her neck. She turned her head so her face was against his head. He wasn't sure how he ended up naked in her bed but he wasn't questioning anything.

Travis walked into his apartment later that night and saw Derrick and Jones. Jones was sitting at the couch, reading while Derrick was making something to eat. Jones glanced up at him than back down at her papers. Travis dropped his bag against the wall and smiled as he walked over to the island. He slid into one of the bar stools. Derrick glanced up at him from the frying pan. He paused in his movements.

" Where have you been?" He asked. Travis grinned and shrugged his shoulders. " Where you with that girl again?" Jones took her glasses off and set them on the coffee table as she stood up. Travis rested his arms on the island and linked his hands together, still only grinning.

" Where you with Jillian?" She asked. She was walking towards her boys.

" Well, Jonesy, it's looks like our boy's dry spell is up." Derrick said.

" Is it, Travis?" Jones asked. Travis shrugged his shoulders but didn't speak. Derrick started pointing at him.

" You dog. You're banging her, aren't you?" Derrick said. Travis laughed.

" I don't kiss and tell." He said. Jones patted his shoulder.

" Good for you." She said.
